This segment of JRKDem features an interview with two fishermen in Kemantren village, Lamongan district, East Java. First, host Noor Chasanah talks with Mr. Soyin, a 63 year-old traditional fisherman. In order to meet the life needs of his family, he willingly braves the huge waves in the sea to catch fish. According to him, the current life of fishermen is much more difficult than in the past and this is due to climate change.

The second interview is with Mr. Ridwan, a modern fishermen who leads a large ship with a numerous team while looking for the fish in the sea. According to him, information about climate change and weather forecasts are not obtained directly from the government. With the uncertain climate conditions, his income as a fisherman has decreased drastically.

According to the latest scientific research, increasing temperatures are an important effect of climate change. This is due to human activities such as the use of carbon fossils resources, oil, gas and an increased demand of water. In this audio of Radio Dange Nwe, the host discuss with an expert the following topics:

To prevent people in Halabja to grow weary of the side effects of climate change on their life, the expert suggests that he NGOs of the district share a plan, a special campaign to raise awareness of the issues brought on by climate change. He also suggests increasing green areas and implementing a reforestation program.

This radio drama produced by Mine James of Chanco Community Radio captures scenarios happening within the communities of Lake Chilwa basin concerning environmental degradation, overpopulation, and over dependency on environment.

Some of the topics include the impacts of the flooding on the livelihoods and health of the communities, particularly the damage to crops and consequent hunger. The actors also discuss some adaptation measures that these communities are seeking to use to build their resilience to climate change and natural disasters, for example Conservation Agriculture.

Among other activities the drama emphasises is reforestation, more especially of indigenous trees which have been depleted and most of which are believed to hold water tables in river banks.

Another component is the use of alternatives methods to avoid use of natural resources for example using brickets (made from recycled papers) for cooking stoves instead of firewood and use of cement bricks instead of using firewood to burn mud bricks for construction.
